Location and Surrounding Area

This stunning property gleaming with beauty is found atop a hill overlooking the endless vineyards of Chianti. The immense villa rescued from ruin and lovingly refurbished is a blend of modernity and medieval charm. The Tuscan countryside welcomes the guest to revel in its luxury and allure while being surrounded by comfort and nature. Vitigliano with the eight elegant suites and five hectares of lavender scented gardens is a place for wandering, exploring and relaxing. This privately-owned country villa offers all the facilities of a five-star luxury resort including a wellness house, bath house, swimming pool, lounge terrace and wine cellar. Enjoy views of the subtle Tuscan countryside from a one-of-a-kind estate full of character, art and enchantment in this ancient stone Borgo steeped in history, architecture and culture.

An inspiring blend of contemporary and classic design, Vitigliano is a secluded, hi-end hideaway, a unique ‘bolt- hole’ with an abundance of charm just 35 minutes from the enchanting Renaissance city of Florence. Further adding to its allure, the property had remained within the hands of the Verrazzano family for centuries giving the building a sense of family and security. The final note of perfection was the property’s outstanding hilltop location with breath-taking views of cypress trees, olive groves and vineyards.

The rare and wonderful red wine known as Chianti Classico Castello di Cerreto is one of the many DOCG specialities of the local area. Another sought-after red wine, the Brunello di Montalcino, has been produced in the hills around Montalcino since the early 14th century, partly due to the fact that Montalcino has the warmest and driest climate in Tuscany.

Siena is medieval gem, famous for its architecture, the Campo central piazza and the Palio horse race, which is held twice every summer. Florence is, of course, an art-lovers paradise; it was the centre of the Italian Renaissance movement and the museums, galleries, palaces and churches hold some of the world's greatest artistic treasures.

Vitigliano’s interiors are testament to the passion, time, energy and positivity that went into the project from all those involved. From the ancient staircase recused from an old villa in Florence to the parquet flooring made from the wood salvaged from oak wine barrels. The extreme level of craftsmanship and attention to detail can be seen throughout the property. A large stair tread (Serena stone) was transformed into an outside bench, a classic roof beam was made into a bar counter, the day beds around the pool were made from moss-covered stones, and marble slabs from a butcher’s shop serve as sunbathing decks.

A sense of effortless chic is anything but, with many antique items of furniture having been found at flea markets at auctions and then had refurbished in an unmistakable “Vitigliano-style”. Years of planning, craftsmanship and hard toil have gone into the creation of this hotel which purveys a sense of cool comfort. A perfect correlation of function and form, Suites feature the highest level of comfort and design with the ultimate box sprung beds and exquisite fabrics from The Designers Guild in London. Bathrooms are sumptuous and elegant with Carrera Marble and freestanding baths, whilst details include family heirlooms such as priceless Persian tapestries and rugs which contrast perfect lighting from Germany and original artworks.

This Suite can be internally connected with the 2. Suite thus enabling guests to rent the entire Tower level. In the tower suites, which date back to the 14th century, you can walk in the footsteps of the renowned Verrazzano family and savour breathtaking 360° views in all directions – vineyards, cypress trees, olive groves and the Castle of Panzano.
